[Intro]
|C |C |F |F | x2
[Verse 1]
C
On occasion, we all do battle with motivational paralysis
F
Unable to perform some simple task
F
Trapped at the stage of analysis
C
Thoughts of the shortness of life may beget
C
Bouts of shortness of breath in your chest
F
Doubts about the worth of the nights you got left
F
Crowding out all but fear and regret
[Chorus]
G C
You got storyline fever, storyline flu
F
It's filtering how everything looks to you
G C
Don't you reckon it's affecting your attitude?
F
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
F
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
[Instrumental]
|C |C |F |F | x2
[Verse 2]
C
You took your love to the marketplace
C
In the wanting corner of a Western state
F
Where every other shopper is a basket case
F
Just relies on the horizon, forms a frowning face
C
Hanging around those haunts at night
C
Where half the clientele was part poltergeist
F
Grinding an axe against all that exists
F
Minus their protected exceptions to it
[Chorus]
G C
You got storyline fever, storyline flu
F
Apparently impairing your point of view
G C
It's making horseshit sound true to you
F
Now it's impacting how you're acting too
F
Now it's impacting how you're acting too
[Instrumental]
|C |C |F |F | x2
[Verse 3]
C
Got a comb over cut circa Abscam sting
C
Make a better Larry than Lizard King
F
But you got to find a way to make it work
F
'Cause your feet is where your demons lurk
C
When you're seller and commodity
C
You gotta sell yourself immodestly
F
Turn your pedestal into a carving board
F
If that's what the audience is starving for
[Chorus]
G C
You got storyline fever, storyline flu
F
It's filtering how everything looks to you
G C
Don't you reckon it's affecting your attitude?
F
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
F
Storyline fever got its hooks in you
